I don't care about Paladins or Facehunters. I knew, Blizzard had to do something against the Lightbomb leak. And it looks like, this card is the "answer". Well, this makes me said. Cause lightbomb is more or less the only card a priester has for a comeback. This card is not a solution. It dosen't "replace" the lightbomb slot at all. Sure, we didn't see all cards yet. But I don't expect a second aoe clear for the priester. And then you have to deal with a good card (holy nova) and a crap card (an extremely bad hellfire).

We will see how it works as a package. But compared 1-1, lightbomb is so much more value then this one....

Are you talking about Excavated Evil at the end of your first paragraph? it's absolutely not an extremely bad hellfire. It's a different hellfire which doesn't hit face, gets you a ton of value in fatigue decks, and gets recycled into a legendary with Elise Starseeker.

Excavated Evil is mostly worse than Hellfire, because not only is it more expensive but also like you said, doesn't even hit face, and how does it give you a ton of value in fatigue decks if its used to destroy early minions from aggro decks and it goes into the oponents deck resetting fatigue, so you'd never want to use this during a fatigue battle? Gets recycled by Elise? every single card does... Hellfire included.

Then again you'll still have to play around shadow word pain, then shadow word death, then cabal, then shrinkmeister cabal combo, then entomb, then the potential mind control, then auchenai circle, then lightbomb, then nova, then the potential shadow madness, then the potential vol'jin...

... so fun playing vs priest kek.

The most broken part is clearly that the priest you're talking about has apparently his whole deck in hand.
